Maze: medium (ages 6-7)
How to use this worksheet
- Use a well-lit table and a soft pencil so the line is easy for both of you to see.
- The grandchild draws the route through the 12×9 grid while the grandparent helps spot dead ends.
- Afterward, the grandparent can tell how they solved puzzles or found their way as a child.
What this worksheet teaches
Solving together builds more than maze skills. The child practices planning, scanning and pencil control across 108 cells, while talking with an older family member develops patience, listening and conversation. The one correct path gives both players a shared goal that is easy to celebrate.
Play idea
Ask the grandparent to hide 'memories' along the route: at each fork they share a short story from their childhood. The grandchild collects the stories on the way and retells one at the exit.
